Ceramiche Ragno, a historic brand in the Italian ceramics industry, opens its first flagship showroom in Milan, designed by Benedetta Tagliabue. The 400-m² space, with its large arched windows overlooking Via Marco Polo in the iconic Porta Nuova district, has been interpreted by Benedetta Tagliabue as a kaleidoscope of colours, textures and patterns that tell a surprising story of the brand’s history and technical and craftsmanship skills and all the expressive potential of ceramics. In this space we find Bovers lamps, also designed by Benedetta Tagliabue: Dome and Domita, this one designed together with Joana Bover. With the Bover DOME we decided to take the light out of the object so it becomes a light sculpture designed to receive and emit a delicate light, a play of shadows and nuances that enrich the space for which they were created. From the beginning of the creation of the Bover Dome, we knew that sooner or later we should expand the collection with smaller versions that allow us to create lighter spaces. More than 170 fragments are needed to compose this great meccano of small and large pieces of wood, wisely intertwined and sewn one by one by the expert hands of those who know well the manual trade that requires the making and care of all our products. Under these premises were born the Domitas, lamps made with thin wooden slats that converge between them, forming a small dome that keeps inside the LED source.
